A few months ago, every time I gained lucidity, I would quickly lose it because I got too excited. Now that I know that trying to fly immediately will pretty much terminate the dream, Ive tried staying calm when I realise that I’m lucid. But my problem now is that I keep forgetting that I’m in a dream.
Here’s what happened in my last dream.
I’m in the passenger seat of a car and the door is open. When I reach for the door to close it, I somehow realise that I’m in a dream. So, trying to stay as calm as possible, I close the door.
And before I know it, I’m already back to a normal dream.
Its almost like I just dreamed of becoming lucid instead of really becoming lucid. Maybe my best bet is to repeat the phrase “I’m in a dream” a few times the next time I become lucid so the thought won’t escape me as easily.
when i became lucid for the first time in a long time the other night, i found being excited helped me. i was so hyped up in my head, i created a brothel in my mind in the middle of the ocean. underground on an island. just to have a little fun hahaha. i did forget i was in a dream a few times, and the story would sorta drift away, but then i would wake up from a loud noise or something, and try again, and go back to the same place
In the dream you tell, you had to try to enhance your lucidity immediatly. You were low lucid, that’s why it didn’t last very long. Next time, perform a RC even if you know it’s a LD or shout “Increase lucidity now!”
Look at your hands from time to time in your dream. It will make you staying lucid longer. You can also perform a RC from time to time, cause performing a RC enhance lucidity.
One more tip: Once you become lucid make yourself levitate around, rather than walking. If you forget you are dreaming you are more likely to remember you are dreaming if you are levitating off the ground. It also makes it alot harder to forget.
